We have spent the last week skating between the boat and the pub and the boat and the shops so it&#8217;s nice to be able to walk places properly! Mum and Dave did really well travelling over here from Gunthorpe 3\u00a0days running\u00a0to see us as we couldn&#8217;t get there. The weather has been rather unconducive to road travel\u00a0(as well as boat travel), with frost and fog,\u00a0so it was a supreme sacrifice for them to do the journeys. John and Kath came today as well and we have had a really nice time. However, we wouldn&#8217;t make plans to definitely get somewhere by a certain time in the Winter again as the weather can be so unpredictable (I suppose it can in Summer too come to that).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">As it has warmed up a bit we have decided to start our return journey tomorrow while there is a chance of finding an unfrozen water point! It will be nice to have a shower again! The washing mountain is taking over the back room too (I never did find the launderette)! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Cold weather is forecast again in a few days so we are reluctantly going back to Thurmaston to regroup before planning our continuous cruising. <\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">We have decided to give up the mooring as it is\u00a0pointless paying for a permanent mooring when you are not planning on being there much (unless it is a really nice one in a prime spot, which ours isn&#8217;t!). We may find another one on our travels which we feel it worth hanging on to. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">This last trip has been, wait for it&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.. a &#8216;learning curve&#8217; (aagh I HATE that expression) in terms of winter cruising and we will be better prepared for bad weather next time we hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is now Boxing\u00a0Day\u00a0and the temperature has at last gone up a few degrees, hurrah!
